A Very Proper Enquiry.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
Now that the Commissioners have stated how
many bar rooms and wholesale licenses have been
issued, IL Is in order that the internal revenue
officials should be called on for an exhibit OF the
number cf such licenses they have issued in this
District. From what can hear, the United States
mas licensed such places in much larger number
IMAM the DISTRICT, and as there Is old adaCe that
people la glass houses should not throw stones y
let congress clear its own skirts before 1t pursues

DIFFERENT COUGHING.

Yesterday an old resident related his ex-
perience in citing ticket for an eastern
"trip. He was busly engaged in his Office
when very clever young gentleman entered
with uncovered head and ask permission to
speak to him flew minutes on business. -
Dropping the pen he squared himself to
catch on to new case lie supposed, but it
was not new case" but the young fellow
was fresh from q ticket office of one of the
leading railroads and wanted to sell him a
ticket after explaining the extra accommoda-
lions he would be given on the road he
ageat-represented
Not long after agent No. l had
said his piece and gracefully
bowed himself out when another g ntlemar
made his appearance and prefaced his re
marks by presenting him with cigar, and
then told him that he was ticket agent and
had somehow learned that he was going eas'
in few days.
After relating the phenomena, he gave q
piece of his experience In Wichita, which
dates back but few years. In those days
of one railroad it was straight four cents q
mile, and a man had to fall in line and
march up to the ticket window, enduring
many times both hardship and cussin, be
cause he even was cheeky enough to ask fol
a ticket even when paying for it. The
change of affairs brought smile.

TIE WATCH FACTORY.

In our yesterdays reference to the watch
factory, there were some inaccuracies due to
typographical errors. IL speaking OF the
buildings to be erected we said the wing TO
be put up this fall will be 40xl45 and one
storY high We should have said 30xl45
and three stories high, thus giving three full
stories for operatives. In addition, there
will be erected this fail one engine house, one
machine shop one drill shop and one store
room. all Of which buildings will be con-
structed of brick and stone. and will be sub
stantial and attraS tive in appearance The
plant, when completed, will very much re-
semble the Elgin fact DRY and will require an
entire block of ground. In short, the insti-
tuition will be- in every respect, fully COM
mensurate with Wichita's present greatness
and prospective growth, and will prove a
lasting ornament in the locality that Is so
fortunate as TO secure it. In speaking of TIE
Elgin. factory we said they employed 5000
hands We shonld have said $500. The El-
gin factory is the most prominent feature OF
the city The city whose fame is now world
wide would scarcely have been known an
hundred miles beyon its corporate limits,
had it not been for the watch factory.

A SAVING BANK.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
We desire through the columns OF the
EAGLE to call the attention Of the public to
the fact that q savings bank or similar insti-
tuition is needed, wherein the workingman
can deposit his surplus cash every Saturday
evening after the weeks work is done. AS
the matter now stands he must either spend
his money or run the risk Of having it stolen
or lost, OF else lose half day in order to get
to the bank during banking hours. We are
personally acquainted with several young
men who work in some Of the remote addi-
tions of Wichita, who have no chance to de-
post their savings unless they lose time to do
it. We beg to suggest a method which has
been adopted by the savings banks of other
cities, viz:
Make arrangements to keep open until or
9p. NJ, for the purpose Of receiving depos-
its. 1t certainly would pay any bank to
handle the savings of the working men of
Wichita We hope this matter may receive
the attention of business men who are inter
ested in the welfare of the working class, and
whose time and attention is not entirely de-
votei to the enchanting pastime OF manipu-
lating driver bargains and Snaps" in
corner lots and other "gilt-edge" property.

SO THERE, SO BOSS.

The location of the Burton stock car
manufacture seems to be open for discussion
for another day. Early last evening
the news gained circulation that the site had
been determined, and the north end was the
winner. Gentlemen interested in the south
end bid were circulating the report, and also
some connected with the north end bid were
heard talking similarly. 1t became gener-
ally understood on the street that the north
was the winning side.
Mr.. Davidson stated last evening that the
matter had not yet been determined. part
of both bids had been sent in, but both would
continue work today and would send In final
papers this evening. The south side bids
consisted Of land, lots and some money. There
were more lots than in the north
end bid The paper that had been
sent in represented bid near 100000 &C
cording to estimates made by the donors. If
the bids were close it would require some
time to decide which was the best.
A gentleman who worked on the north end
bid stated last evening that their bids as
handed in called for four hundred and sixty
acres of land and small amount Of meney.
The paper not as yet submitted would add
considerably to that amount. MIR. j. b.
Dacey has worked very hard in the matter
and was out last night rustling as usual.
One of the leaders of the south end cause
was seen last night near midnight
and was Of the opinion that their
bid amounted to about $4,000. On being
informed on the subject he seemed to be
very sorry that it had become known other
wise, and that his ''go-as-it-please" tactics
had not worked as neatly as desired.
1t is thought probable that all the COWS
will be MIXED today, and that the second
stripping will be completed by sun down.
The milk will then be strained and soon
ready for USE

DETERMINED EFFORT.

Last evening Mr.. Thomas Bryan, farmer
who lives near four miles east of the city,
brought to the city load of hay. While at
the hay market his team was frightened, and
in attempting to run away upset the wagon.
Soon after, starting west on Douglas his
team started on the run and kept it up until
reaching the City stables, telegraph pole
took them in injuring the wagon consider
ably. Turning north on Lawrence the team
got up another runaway and were again
taken in by telegraph post on the corner Of
First street and Lawrence avenue. This
time the wagon was perfect wreck, but the
driver very little injured. He left the city
for home with his team, and no further news
concerning his welfare has been received.

HOWE'S
New London Big 35-cent Show

Now enroute through Kansas, will give
two big, brilliant and bewildering perform

urday, August 5th and 9th. The eastern e1-

magnificent worth of the show, and the
superlative excellence of its features. We
are assured by the agent that one of the most

BELIEVES IN WICHITA.

Mr.. Charles b. Reupke, OF Davenport,
Iowa, arrived in the city Wednesday even
ing. He is one of the leading citizens OF his
town and came to Wichita with an eye to
business. 1t is his first visit and the much
literature concerning the city had lad him to
build in his mind Wichita. His idea of
of the city was made up mainly from articles
not by any means favorable, aud hence one
can easily imagine about what sort of a city
Wichita is. As he frankly expresses it,
great was his surprise when he arrived He
had supposed that the census was incorrect,
multipl ing the real number of inhabitance
by two and then adding few thous and.
When shown part Of the city yesterday he
Was led to conclude that the city had grown
a great deal since the taking OF the census
which, when taken, was not any too large.
In his town the report has gained circulation
that there were over three hundred founda-
lions in Wichita that was growing weeds.
In his rounds yesterday he looked for some
of that kind and failed to find single one.
1t was not weeds it was gang OF hands
working on five or six times three hundred
foundations, and not even Kansas sunfiow-
er had half the gall to attempt growth.
The facts caused him to suspicion that some
one had started an enormous lie concerning
Wichita.
Mr. Reupke seems to be able to tell a live
city when he sees it. Some time since he
visited all the booming towns of California,
and says he saw none that compared even
favorably with Wichita. In his opinion
there is no little difference between real
estate boom building up fictitious values upon
imagination and genuine business boom. A
building boom giving room for great busl-
ness establishments was lasting and potent
factor for city. Another feature which
seems in favor of the city is the great de-
mand for buildings. The demand causes
them to be built, and hence the demand in
his opinion is what is giving the wonderful
building growth in this the hot summer
months Mr.. Reupke will remain in the city
some days and continue his investigation OF
its real merits.

Topeka as shown by the directory Of each
city. The result is as follows:
WICHITA Brown. Jones Smith

The above shows that the three prominent
families are more largely represented in
Wichita than Topeka, and hence it would
seem to be fair to suppose better represented
here than in any other city in the state.
